The iPad is for porn?

A wonderful article about how the lack of flash support and the extreme – well – “fear of nakedness” in the Apple App Store drives the online adult “entertainment” industry right into the arms of HTML5 and h.264 video.

Actually this is nothing new, the porn industry is most often technically on the bleeding (not dripping) edge. Think HD video, DVD, interactive movies (I suppose the porn versions sucked just as much as the pc games that I tried at that age) and – obviously – video.

Personally I wonder what it is that makes botnets the most reliable networks, porn the most advanced multimedia offers and the mafia the gurus of datamining, whereas “us” on the good side sometimes find ourselves years behind.
